Hi, 

 

My RAX80 reverts to factory settings on reboot.  I saw this problem on another thread and made some disparaging remarks so I was enouraged to start my own thread by ashrahman88 

 

I have a Model RAX80, purchased from Best Buy about a year and a half ago, firmware: V1.0.3.106_1.0.50.  This is my third Netgear Router so even though some find the interface somewhat unintuitive, I'm quite used to it (meaning is should proably be updated, ha ha, but I digress). When rebooting my router, all the settings are lost.

 

After losing the settings, it's quick to re-assign the SSID and password using the Android App but I use the QOS settings for 11 wifi speakers (Yamaha Music Cast) since they have to be done one-at-a-time, that can be time-comsuming. 

 

Today I'm installing a new NAS (Synology DS920+) and had to reboot several times...  which is what brought me back to the forum. Surprize! The router is not keeping the Ethernet Port Aggregation setting because when I restart to "apply changes" all the settings disappear. I'm not sure there is a way around this...

 

Sometimes the unit simply stops sending a wifi signal which I think it unrelated and may be tied to over-heating so I have simply turned the unit sideways which seems to help. 

 

I bought a premium router hoping to have it for a few years so this is frustrating. 

 

Thanks for any thoughts you might have.
